The beast stumbled and skidded past me, yelping as it crashed down the stairs.
Limping, I ran.
Bones crunched beneath my boots.
When I heard the monster rise again, I veered out of its path.
The air was freezing, tearing my throat and stabbing my bare skin.
Then my eyes, starved so entirely of light, glimpsed a whisper of moonbeams.
I followed that blue glow, weaving through a cavern filled with hoofbeats and wingbeats and the baying of mountain geese.
I tripped on a deer carcass and put my hand through its ribcage as I caught myself, but
Bone splinters speared my palm, but I could only roll off it and away.
Oh, suddenly, before the door, I threw myself into the passage and left the shrieking chaos behind.
As I sprinted back to where loyal, obedient Penny awaited me, I could think only of that strange god and its eggs.
By the time we brought the goose corpse home, I knew what I planned to do.
Dad had taught me how to mount deer heads.
Several that we had made together still watched me from their places on the wall.
I couldn't have Penny around, though, and she deserved better.
I called a neighbor up on the ridge who had known Dad.
She has a Christmas tree farm with lots of space to run.
I said I needed to go to the hospital in the city and asked if she could take Penny until I got back.
I gave her 500 bucks and a list of Penny's commands.
It would be a good place for my sweet girl to grow old, and I didn't cry until I had closed the cabin door behind them.
